I have a book given to me by a great punk-rock friend of mine called "You Are Being Lied To" (not sure if its still in print) that argues in one of its chapters that when Martin Luther King Jr started to point out the very same things that gentlemen spoke of and create organizations towards this issue's exposure; he was assassinated swiftly thereafter. <BR/><BR/>So was Malcolm X when he just touched on this topic. Weird, huh? <BR/><BR/>I'm still "pimping" your blog to my friends and your link is up at www.pddp.wordpress.com (a blog by two non-White girls who are pissed at everything, lol). I enjoy your insights very much and think your thoughts are worth reading. They get me thinking about a lot. <BR/><BR/>Cheers, <BR/>Davita CuttitaDavitaCuttitawww.pddp.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-72387482797882744442008-04-21T20:48:00.000-07:002008-04-21T20:48:00.000-07:00Tim Wise's rhetorical style isn't really inimitabl...Tim Wise's rhetorical style isn't really inimitable. It seems to be influenced by or derived from slam poetry style.<BR/><BR/>I think whiteness can be an ethnicity, in that many non-whites see whiteness as an ethnicity. To white people, white people have no culture, because they are blind to their own whiteness.<BR/><BR/>The typical white person sees "black", "Latino", and "Asian" as ethnicities, even if there is much diversity within each of these groups. But what happens often is that because diverse people within a white-defined group are treated all the same, they have same experiences (with whites) and that white-defined commonality becomes a rallying point.Restructure!http://restructure.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-21946391711037324702008-04-21T11:39:00.000-07:002008-04-21T11:39:00.000-07:00Anonymous, I'm not making blanket generalizations....Anonymous, I'm not making blanket generalizations. I'm talking on this blog about common white tendencies. That shouldn't have to mean saying, over and over again, "not ALL white people do these things." Other groups have common tendencies too, and it's certainly fair to talk about them, if one does so in a serious and informed way.<BR/><BR/>By the way, whiteness isn't an ethnicity. My understanding is that that word was created in the first place precisely to differentiate not-yet-white European immigrants from the ones who had become accepted as "white."Macon Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795547197817128339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-73170098772393767242008-04-21T10:35:00.000-07:002008-04-21T10:35:00.000-07:00Interesting how its acceptable to make blanket gen...Interesting how its acceptable to make blanket generalizations about an entire ethnicity of people as long as they are white. Blanket generalizations of Black, Latino, Asian or others would be racist. I find the whole "whites bashing whitey" really tired and cliched. Is this kind of monologue advancing racial justice, harmony?
